Today I purchased six books from the scroll across SheWrites site. I am truly proud to be a member here, and feel overwhelmed to be in such talented company. My book has been doing fairly well, but has truly met its media challenges because of the controversy surrounding it. It's been a struggle even with a high-profile name attached to it. I worked damn hard on it for an outrageous amount of years and one of my proudest moments was to see it in the scroll here.

What else did I do today? I went to Huffington Post site and left a comment after a pre-review of Sarah Palin's bestseller book at a blog there. Here's part of what I wrote:

Palin? It was as easy as her whim to become an instant best selling author. I read at DailyFinance that HarperCollins could end up regretting their investment in Palin. Oprah will help fix that, I'm sure.
Let's get back to reading. Oprah, instead of interviewing Palin, should visit SheWrites online and watch the 200+ books scrolling by at the top of the page, all written this year by dedicated female authors who struggled on their own with words of truth and wisdom to offer, only to be left in the dust by a woman who knows so much about Russia because the country's planes fly near her hunting grounds. Visit SheWrites. There's my plug. Let's get back to reading.

(Sorry to those of you here who like Palin, but I shudder to think that she could've been our VP, possibly President had McCain gone down. The link follows to the DailyFinance report about Palin's book and there's some interesting info there, too, about the publishing world that will surprise you on what you may believe constitutes a bestseller. I wish everyone a productive, prosperous, happy, and healthy new writing year.)
